thing is
Lots of us have to pay BT for the line even if we don't want them as ISP. Which kinda kills the 'privatisation enhances consumer choice' arguments. Same with the bloody trains, if I get a poor service (as I invariably do), I can't just change 'provider'.
On the other hand, when I lived in an area I could get Virgin media I very much appreciated the choice. Know they have their detractors and Branson's a bit of a cunt but it was lightning compared to BT. Unlike most 3tans not everyone lives in a city with a comfortable wage though.

You're talking to someone who was stuck with a BT phone line up until a year ago. Companies like Hyperoptic are filling these gaps in the market that BT are so obviously failing to do. It might be worth contacting a couple of them and seeing what it'd take to get them interested in your area.
